History

The organization now know as WEMTA (formerly known as WDAVI, then WAVA, then WEMA) began its life in 1948. As the association celebrates its seventieth anniversary in 2018! A brief summary of the association's history, decade by decade, was written by members of the association who were active at the time.

These ten year histories provide some details of what we were doing during those years and who were our leaders of the time. The steady growth and development of the association from the original 52 members to today's association of over 800 members is clearly documented in these decade summaries.
